Paul's Testimony

Ben Foust

Acts 25:1-26:32

After a long ministry, Paul's life ends in imprisonment, just as God had revealed it would. Nevertheless, he faithfully shares his story of how Jesus transformed his life and gives the gospel to anyone who will listen. Paul is an example of a life lived faithfully to the end and of God working in even the hardest of circumstances for the good.

The Smell of Victory

Scott Risley

2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Paul uses the tradition of the triumphal entry of a victorious Roman general into the city to explain the victory of Christ on the cross. To some, the Roman parade was a cause for celebration, to others it represented the sentence of death. In the same way, the gospel is a polarizing message for people today.

Paul's Speech to the Jews

Ben Foust

Acts 13:14-52

Paul presents the gospel in Pisidian Antioch, where many people respond favorably, while others do not. Using the Old Testament, he gives evidence that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah, and that God always intended to bring salvation, not just to the Jewish people, but to the whole world.

Peter and Cornelius

Ben Foust

Acts 9:31-10:48

The gospel takes another leap outward, this time to gentiles, as God miraculously orchestrates a meeting between Peter and a Roman centurion named Cornelius. Through this story, we see that God cares about those who are far off and that he wants to use his followers as his messengers, sometimes requiring us to step out of our comfort zone.

The Gospel and Christian Growth

Mike Sullivan

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Once we've heard the good news about Jesus' sacrifice and God's grace, what comes next? It's tempting to change the gospel in order to make it more appealing to people (such as salvation through works, not faith). But when the gospel is used properly, it can be a powerful tool for serving in difficult circumstances and encouraging others to grow.

Too Good to Be False

Tom Gilson

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The accounts of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels paint an incredible picture. We should examine the evidence for the historicity of these accounts. Gilson compares and contrasts several theories and gives practical suggestions on how to dialogue about this topic.

The Conversion of the Thessalonians

Mike Sullivan

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

What led the people of Thessalonica to become followers of Jesus? The messengers (Paul, Timothy, Silas and others) were dedicated, worked as a team and used evidence when they talked about God and Jesus. God pursued them and provided power and conviction. And the recipients were open to hearing the message and making their own decision. They were then motivated to share the gospel with others.

Using Your Freedom to Love - Part 2

Conrad Hilario

1 Corinthians 9:1-22

The Apostle Paul explains to the Corinthians how he makes the message of Christ relevant to both Jews and Gentiles in the different cultures he encounters. In the same way, Christians today should not seek to change culture, nor create their own Christian sub-culture, but rather find ways to show how the gospel message is compatible with culture in many ways while being careful not to adopt anti-biblical cultural values.
